  • Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, stirring until all is combined.
  • Add chicken broth to thin it down a little bit.

  1. Super good sauce. I wasn't going to add the butter, but I'm really glad that I did. It add so much to the sauce. It tastes great right now but I'm going to serve it tomorrow night only because I think these types of sauces always taste better the next day. Thanks so much for posting this healthy tasty recipe!
     
  2. Excellent!! The only thing I did differently is I mixed all the seasonings together and massaged them into the ground turkey. My husband loved it and I will make this many more occasions.

  3. Awesome recipe - I did it exactly as written except I added the butter at the end of cooking the turkey as a sort of finishing. Had it with bean pasta, as I am low carb high protein. One serving with the bean pasta had over 40 grams of protein! Will be making this again - easy and delicious. Thank you!
     
  4. Absolutely excellent! My first time cooking with turkey of any kind and was weary about it, but this recipe calmed my fears! I didn't have crushed tomatoes so I used 2 1/2 cups fresh tomatoes from my garden and diced them up. It was great! My 11 year old loved it too!
     
  5. I loved this sauce! I used olive oil in place of the butter and fresh oregano and basil in place of the dried. It's was very flavorful. Thanks for posting!

  1. I served it on top of penne with a sprinkle of parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes.
     
  2. I love to experiment! So I added a tablespoon of Soy Sauce, may sound odd but it's really delicious! My hard to please grandson actually ate it and wanted more! That just doesn't happen, lol. Keep your recipes coming, I love your site!
